A little more info: The tr:panelFormLayout itself has an attribute shortDesc. This appears as a tooltip when hovering over the whole panelFormLayout. If an inputText defines its own shortDesc, this is used as tooltip for the input field but not for the label. :-O
As you can see in my previous example, this panelFormLayout shortDesc even overrules the label tooltip if it's not defined at all. Is this really meant to be like that??
